Using proportions, it is found that he can sort 2160 pieces in 45 minutes.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

He can sort 8 pieces of mail in 10 seconds, hence the number of pieces he can sort per second is given by:

8/10 = 0.8 pieces per second.

45 minutes have 45 x 60 = 2700 seconds, hence the number of pieces is:

2700 x 0.8 = 2160 pieces.

He can sort 2160 pieces in 45 minutes.

There are 3,250 buttons. If they are divided into groups of 8, how many buttons are there. Interpret the remainder. Show your wo
Andre45 [30]
I am going to assume that the question is asking how many buttons are in each of the 8 groups.

To find out how many buttons are in each of the 8 groups, we simply need to divide the amount of groups by the total amount of buttons.

3250 / 8 = 406.25

That is unlikely the answer, since buttons are hard to divide into quarters.

**************

This is the more likely solution. There are 8 groups of buttons, with 3250 buttons in each group. To find the total amount of buttons, we just need to multiply the number of groups of buttons there are by the amount of buttons there are in each group.

8 * 3250 = 26000

There are 26,000 buttons total.
Hope that helped =)

How do I factor an expression using the GCF?
Anni [7]

Answer:

  use the distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to rewrite the expression with the GCF factored out.

<u>Example</u>:

  ab +ac +ad  . . . . has terms with a common factor of 'a'

When the common factor is factored out, the distributive property tells you the equivalent is ...

  = a(b +c +d)

If 'a' is the greatest common factor, then b, c, d are mutually prime and no more factors can be removed to outside the parentheses.
